The US president jokes that delegates will understand if the PM needs a nap: the new leader boarded a plane hours after he was sworn in. Albanese speaks of Australia's commitment to the Pacific and challenge of climate change in the region. 'We will act in recognition that climate change is the main economic and security challenge for the island countries of the Pacific,' he says. 'Under my government, Australia will set a new target to reduce emissions by 43% by 2030, putting us on track for net zero by 2050'
